Read This! Another Reason Not To Ski and Porn Wants Government Money
I live in the Midwest and we normally get much snow in the winter. This season has been unusually mild but I love cold weather and I like snow, I just prefer not driving in it. As much as I love winter I'm not a fan of winter sports. The only sports I've ever played are soccer and roller derby. I've always been freaked by the idea of ice skating and skiing.
My issue with skiing is simple. You go down big ass hills and sometimes mountains on two little twiggy sticks then you expect not to die in the process. Logic fails me in this sport and I rather play roller derby and skate around smashing into other girls and pretend to be super hero bad ass with my roller derby name L.Ron Haggard. Yeah, not a fan of Scientology.
Anyway! A skier in Vail was left hanging upside down with his pants off on a ski lift. I'm a mean person, it made me laugh. They also have pictures of the poor guy showing his naked and presumably freezing ass to the world.
Just for the fun of it, here's another article. The porn industry is seeking a federal bail out. I'm not sure if the coolness factor of Congress would increase or decrease if they did this. It would increase with me but probably decrease with the theoretical conservative majority we have in this country.
Though I wonder why porn needs bailing out? People love porn. It's probably because you can get it free all over the interwebs so there's no reason to pay for it anymore. YouPorn, hello!

The thing that's really funny is that three year olds can get on and off those chairs with no trouble. The rest of the time, you're supposed to keep your butt on the chair and wait to get to the other side. What the heck was the guy doing that he got under the safety bar far enough to be suspended upside down?
Skiing is a ton of fun. It's kind of hard to compare it to other activities. If you enjoy the balance games on Wii Fit, it's the closest thing I can think of.

Oh man, that's hilarious!
I love skiing and it would be times like that, I'd be thankful for wearing my ski pants with built in braces.
I'm just trying to figure out how one would get into that situation. I've been on all kinds of lifts and there's no fucking way I'd be able to do that if I tried. lol
